Team Emily
Walk With Us. Wish With Us.
Welcome to the Team Emily page! We are the Burke family, and have been part of the Make-A-Wish community since 2013. Our team captain, Emily, was diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic health condition at the age of 13. After a year of facing countless battles, we were blessed with the opportunity to go on the trip of a lifetime, all thanks to the generosity of the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Emily's wish was a 7-night Mediterranean Cruise. This wish gave our family hope, strength, and an overwhelming amount of joy. We smiled, laughed, and made memories that would last a lifetime. It is a time we all think about often, especially as the times of hardship continue.
As members of the Make-A-Wish community, we are beyond excited to support Make-A-Wish and their work in our community. Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Every one of these kids needs a wish to give them strength and help them heal. When they smile, you’ll smile. See firsthand the power of pure joy when you grant a wish for a child battling a critical illness.
These life-changing wishes are only possible because of supporters like us. A wish experience can truly change a child’s life, and so can we.
